Networking
is not mere socializing -- it is a vital personal and professional
development skill. An effective network can make you more
knowledgeable, help you address critical issues, accelerate your
career, and even improve your health and well-being. It's just too
important to be left to chance.

With The Connect Effect
you can take a conscious, systematic approach to networking. To begin
with, Author Michael Dulworth helps you evaluate how network-savvy you
are. Dulworth then identifies three distinct kinds of networks:
personal, professional, and virtual, exploring their specific
characteristics and offering strategies, tools, and resources for
building up and making the best use of each one.

Stories from Dulworth's over twenty years of experience running
networks, as well as interviews with top executives, researchers, and
thought leaders, provide insights and advice about how networks
function in the real world.
